Of course, you have a point but everything the US administration has done is not necessarily as "good" as the experience you have had.

I accept that. As it happens, while they were busy building them etc, many of my present government in SA were at school in Moscow learning all their methods. I also accept that, if it was not for the US presence, the ones who went to those schools would be very happy to apply their lessons on to me as they were applied on to you.

However, it is because I respect and admire many of the things the US has done for the world that I am critical, in fact, condemnatory, of the policies of the present administration.
